Support for
Healthcare
Workers
Working in Healthcare can be stressful and challenging for innumerable reasons. I offer support, problem-solving, and stress management for nurses, physicians, psychologists, frontline staff, and other healthcare workers. As a nurse who has worked in many healthcare systems, as a family member who has cared for ill loved-ones, and as a psychotherapist who worked for 12 years with older medically hospitalized veterans and their families, I hope my experiences will enhance my ability to understand your challenges and help you better manage your stress and stressors.
Together, We’ll Work To:
Identify stressors and vulnerabilities, and develop a plan, grounded in evidence-based CBT to manage your stress, including:
Set goals for what you want therapy to help you achieve
Understand the connection between your thoughts, body, and behavior under stress
Identify and shift the thought patterns and habits that intensify burnout
Reconnect with the values and priorities your work stress may be crowding out
Build practical stress-reduction skills — self-compassion, mindfulness, corrective breathing, and attention-shifting techniques
Support you on your unique journey
Track your progress along the way
Most clients meet weekly until symptoms improve (typically 8–20 sessions), then taper to less frequent sessions to maintain their progress.
